In Town Mileage is over stated

I have a Mazda 6s with a 6 cyl and automatic. I have to keep looking at the specs as I can not get near the miles per gallon in town as they are stating. I am barely getting 12 to 14 miles per gallon. Maybe I have a heavy foot but I try to be easy on the pedal and still the mileage in town is poor. I was pleasantly surprised then to find out that the highway miles per gallon was close to what they had estimated and so not all is lost on gas. But if you are looking for performance and not gas mileage, then this car is for you. Fun to drive and some real pep when you need it.

Best Car for the Money

I compared the Maxima, Altima, Accord and 6S (all manual of course) and the 6S was the easy winner. The combination of it's 220hp 5-speed manual with it's size and handling made it the most exciting car to drive in this class and price range. The exterior styling is more aggressive/less domestic than the others. The interior fit, feel, and design is on par with the Accord and blows away the Nissans. It is smooth and quiet but has "corners-on-rails" handling. It will guzzle gas if you zoom-zoom and the gas tank gauge is way too conservative. It is a must-drive if you are looking for a practical car to get your driving fix in.

All the 'U', much more 'S' than SUV's

I just picked up one of the first Mazda 6 Wagons available last week. About 800 miles into it, I am very pleased with my purchase. I understand the value of cargo room, but don't want to drive some boat that doesn't corner and gets crappy milage. Enter the 6 Wagon, with most of the cargo capacity of smaller SUV's, but with the ability to corner and accelerate without mpg numbers starting with a 1. The engine is a bit less torquey than I expected, but spin it past 3 grand and it gets fun in a hurry. The handling is stellar, as is the interior. It's a heck of a lot of sport, cargo room, features, etc. for the $. And I can still drive a manual!
